DESCRIPTION

Cuentas is a small, early-stage company building a bundled mobile and entertainment platform targeting Hispanic and Latino consumers in the U.S. The company operates as an MVNO under the "Cuentas Mobile" brand through a 51%-owned joint venture, reselling mobile voice, text, and data on a major U.S. carrier's 5G network. Cuentas buys wholesale capacity through PLUM, a carrier aggregator, and resells it to consumers on prepaid plans, with its economics driven by the spread between wholesale and retail pricing. Alongside mobile, Cuentas is building an OTT entertainment platform called World Mobile Media, intended to deliver licensed content, original programming, live events, and creator content, with monetization through pay-per-event experiences and ad-supported on-demand content. The platform is pre-launch, with rollout targeted for Q2 2026. Cuentas' core strategy is to bundle mobile connectivity with exclusive entertainment content, using the entertainment offering as a differentiator in an otherwise commoditized prepaid mobile market. Customer acquisition relies on partnerships with companies that already have access to Cuentas' target demographic. The company previously operated a fintech business focused on prepaid cards and digital wallets, and made real estate investments in Florida, both of which it has exited. Cuentas is at a very early stage with minimal revenue, roughly five employees, and has disclosed going concern doubts, requiring additional capital to execute its business plan.
